Unveiling the HolyDuck: A Retrofuturistic Marvel for Your Porsche 964

2024-09-02

A Quirk in the 964 Generation

Let's start with the basics. The 964 generation came equipped with an open wing that unfolded at 80 km/h and retracted when stationary. While many might assume it's all about downforce, the truth is more intriguing. The open wing serves as a sophisticated heat reduction mechanism, channeling fresh air into the engine bay and expelling the hot air. Although it generates some downforce, the real charm lies in the futuristic spectacle it creates. Picture yourself in 1989, surrounded by square-shaped cars, and a 964 enters the autobahn. As it accelerates, the wing gracefully unfurls – a scene straight out of science fiction.

The HolyDuck Project: Where Art Meets Engineering

The journey of the HolyDuck began in July 2021 – a process involving sketches, clay sculpting, 3D scanning, printing, redesigning, and a relentless pursuit of the perfect production technology. Fast forward two years, and the result is a stunning, one-piece ducktail made from high-quality polyamide. Weighing in at 3.30 kg, it blends lightweight construction with robust strength, a mere 0.85 kg heavier than the original – practically nothing.

Aesthetic Delight: Retrofuturistic Design

The HolyDuck's design marries retro futuristic elements with '90s vibes, paying homage to the iconic 356 and F-model. The spoiler line mirrors the contours of the deck lid, creating a harmonious dialogue. Notice the play between the convex grill pattern and the smooth surrounding surface. 

Customization Options: Satin Black Elegance

The HolyDuck invites personalization. While it's ready to be painted in any color, the satin black version exudes an aggressive charm. Consider the move of painting the frame to match the body color while retaining the grill section in black – a distinctive touch for the discerning enthusiast.


Hassle-Free Installation: Plug-and-Play Brilliance

Wondering about the installation process? Fear not. The HolyDuck is a plug-and-play element, requiring no modifications. Mount it in the same holes from which the OEM active wing was removed. Perfect fitment is guaranteed, thanks to 3D scanning technology that ensures the ducktail complements the car's silhouette flawlessly.

Beyond the 964: A G Body Transformation

Curious about fitment on the G model? It's absolutely possible with a slight modification. Swap the rear deck lid to a 964 one, and you're good to go. Of course, this entails getting the deck lid, adapters, and wiring with a switch to operate the wing – but fear not, we've got you covered. Just contact our advisors.

Gratitude: A Heartfelt Thank You

The response to HolyDuck on Instagram has been overwhelming, with around 300 messages pouring in. The two years of dedicated work have undoubtedly paid off, and we're grateful for the enthusiastic embrace from the Porsche community. Here's to many more miles of excitement and style!
